Greetings, I'm building a news server using FreeBSD 2.1.0 as the OS and INN as the news handler. I will be using SCSI drives for the news spool but I'm wondering if IDE has a place. The motherboard is an ASUS PCI and the IDE controller is pretty fast. Should I put the OS and base directory structure on one IDE drive (854MB) and swap/history on another (854MB) drive or should I go with say, 5 2 GIG SCSI drives? I ask because I'm worried that 5 news/swap/history spindles may be too much for the average SCSI controller. Thanks, Craig =================================================================== Shrimpton Consulting Orbit Systems Craig Shrimpton Email: craigs@os.com 17 Monroe Avenue Phone: (508) 753-8776 Worcester, MA 01602 http://www.os.com/
